Question

Use Turtle graphics to draw your first name or your nickname if over 6 letters.          

Just initials of your first & last name is OK if you add another feature such as color.

My initials are J.S but I don't know how to color them.

Here is my code:

 Python program to print nick name if a name is greater than 6 character
  or initials if the color if given
"""

import turtle as T


fName, lName = input('Enter name: ').split()
color = input('Enter Color: ')

T.fillcolor(color)

if color is '':
  if len(fName)+len(lName) > 6:
    T.write(fName, font=("Arial",32,"normal"))
  else:
    T.write(fName + " " + lName,font=("Arial",32,"normal"))
else:
  T.write(fName[0] + " " + lName[0], font=("Arial",32,"normal"))

Answer :

I have edited your code and now it is working fine. We should understand the difference between fill color() and color() function of turtle class.

fill color() - It is used to color the entire body of the given shape.

color() - It is used basically to color the text.

So here we have to use color() instead of fill color(), also I had move this line to the else part as if the user doesn't enter the initial so in that case, we don't have to color the text.

Python code: Given below is fully commented code.

import turtle as T #import library
fName, lName = input('Enter name: ').split() #taking first name and last name input from user
color = input('Enter Color: ') #taking color input from user
if color is '': #if no color is selected then
if len(fName)+len(lName) > 6: #if lenght of full name exceed 6 then print only first name
T.write(fName, font=("Arial",32,"normal"))
else: #print full name if lenght is less than 6
T.write(fName + " " + lName,font=("Arial",32,"normal"))
else: #if color is entered then
T.color(color) #apply color to text
T.write(fName[0] + " " + lName[0], font=("Arial",32,"normal")) #print the inital of first and last name
